Of Black River, have recently been
put il a .1ost excellent condition

northern prong OF Black River and g
Ike result is expected. Mr.. ". ".
NewIaD, an experienced workman,
contracted for both prongs. The
Chairman of tho Board of Commits
sioners informs US that they find no
difficulty in letting out the county
work at the proper rates. This IS q
change which IS due to an Act OF the
receut Legislature making 2 special
levy for bridge work. Tie Chairman
SAYS his Board has not found Ii neces-
sary to borrow the money provided
for ID the Supply Bill, to build the
bridges The work, he says, is done
at cash prices and ten percent interest
to be paid on the money borrowed IS
saved. The ccuntv is being managed
on business princinIes and we predict
